pam Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) My advice to take a look at when a thread was started and the last time someone posted. If it was 5 years ago, ummm chances are the advice needed is probably not needed any longer. Edited July 15, 2009 by pam Quote
Wingnut Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 If it was six months ago, it's probably not needed anymore. Over a year, almost definitely. Seriously, though...to dig up threads that are well over five years old requires going through a LOT of pages! Quote
beefche Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Well, Wingy, when I'm bored and want to escape my life, I'll do a search of old topics for fun.....I just don't post to them. Quote
Mahone Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 It might be a good idea to lock all threads over a year old. I don't know if there is an automated way to do this with vbulletin - I certainly wouldn't want the tedious job of going through and locking all the outdated threads. Quote
pam Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 I disagree with locking ALL threads over a year old. There are some that are still pertinent to today even if started over a year ago. Advice threads are another thing. NightSG 1 Quote

Seanette Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Maybe set a cutoff of "X months since last post" and lock anything older than X? Quote
pam Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 I just don't see a need to start limiting this board to such. Quote

Flyingbeliever Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Sorry, posted in the wrong forum! Edited July 15, 2010 by Flyingbeliever Quote
mordorbund Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 heh. Someone posted 7 months later in the "Do not post on idle advice threads" thread. Now that's funny. Quote
Vort Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 heh. Someone posted 19 months after someone posted 7 months later in the "Do not post on idle advice threads" thread. Now that's funny. Oh, wait, no it's not. Just a spammer. Move along, people. Nothing to see here. Quote

If it was 5 years ago, ummm chances are the advice needed is probably not needed any longer.Oh my Pam - did you ever screw this up!!!! Advice is desperately needed - just not so much from any of the PREVIOUS posters. The Traveler Quote

askandanswer Posted August 8, 2018 Report Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Hopefully this means no comment from @pam on anything, for ever! At last! I think no comment from @pam will make this forum a much nicer place to be. Edited August 8, 2018 by askandanswer anatess2 and Sunday21 2 Quote
